The plan to make CygNet truly redundant

January 21, 2016 / 2 comments / in General  / by CygNet Blog Admin

As many of you are well aware, CygNet does not have a great solution for productized failover.  You can replicate CygNet data.  You can setup a clustering environment to detect failures.  You can write scripts to swap config files in order to change a services role.  I’ve talked to many of you over the last month or two and for those who do have a working solution, it took a lot of work to setup, and takes a lot of work to maintain.

For those of you who are in this boat, or are afraid to get into the boat, I’m happy to announce that we have a team assembled and are working to vastly improve this process!

CygNet Operator is released!

January 18, 2016 / 0 comments / in General  / by CygNet Blog Admin

I’m happy to announce that CygNet Operator, our first mobile app, has been officially released!  I won’t go into details on the app as that was already covered in a previous post.  I just wanted to let you all know that you can find the app in the iTunes store by searching for “CygNet Operator”.  You can’t do anything with the app until you connect to a host, so we have a test site running that is publically available.  If you are interested, just email us and we will send you the details (CygNetBlogAdmin@weatherford.com).

An Exclusive Event…Only a Select Few Can Even Hear About It

November 16, 2015 / 0 comments / in API  Applied Engineering  General  Studio Tips  / by Blake Miller

Consider this scenario.  I have an overview grid screen that has a list of wells with some high level information.  I click on one of the wells and a separate screen opens with more detail.  On that detail screen, I click on a button that opens another screen that has a trend with various well points.   Cool, I have separate dedicated screens that I’m able to view the various bits of information I desire at the same time.  Now I want to be able to select on a different well on the first screen and have the other screens follow.  And, I want to be able to look at multiple sets of these screens for different wells at the same time.  How can I do that

Analyzing Device Communications with CrcGenerator

November 9, 2015 / 0 comments / in General  / by Ryan Ackerman

This is a utility that has outgrown its name. It was originally developed to help us to verify the Cyclic Redundancy Checks (CRCs) added to messages to guard against transmission errors. Once this basic framework was in place, however, it became an easy place for developers to add communications related features

September 25, 2015 / 0 comments / in Applied Engineering  / by Walter Goodwater

CygNet Applied Engineering is pleased to announce the release of the CygNet Depot. This tool was created to simplify interacting with CygNet file storage services. With the Depot, you have easy access to any file stored in your APPS or BSS and also your Group services. You can download, upload, drag-and-drop, delete, rename, copy, and paste. In addition, you can preview files (Studio screens, PDF documents, Excel spreadsheets, image files) and make in-place edits to text-based files (.txt, .xml, .vbs, etc.) without having to bother with downloading, editing, saving, then uploading.
